Since 2022, the politics of Pakistan have been rocked by a struggle for power centered around former prime minister Imran Khan. Khan, who was ousted from office by a parliamentary no-confidence motion in April 2022, has alleged that his removal from office was orchestrated at the behest of the US government. This January, Khan was sentenced to 10 years in prison for leaking government documents as part of his effort to prove US involvement in his ouster. Khan's saga has ignited mass protests across Pakistan over the past two years. Despite being imprisoned during national elections this February, Khan's political party, PTI, won more parliamentary seats than any other political party. Journalist and policy analyst Raza Rumi joins The Marc Steiner Show for an in-depth look at Pakistan's political crisis in the context of its long and turbulent struggle for democracy.Raza Ahmad Rumi is a Pakistani writer and a public policy specialist.

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was the leader of Pakistan from 1971 until 1977. Zulfikar took power in Pakistan at one of the lowest points in its history; the secession of East Pakistan in 1971, now Bangladesh, had called into question the basic concept on which Pakistan had been founded that the Muslim peoples of South Asia should live in one country. Bhutto, a Western educated leftist, sought to reinvigorate his bruised Islamic country by uniting it around socialism. The fact that he only ruled Pakistan for five and a half years should probably give you an idea as to how this went, with his government struggling to sidestep the powerful influences of the military and the tribal kinships. The result was a coup in 1977, Bhutto's execution two years later, and 12 years of military rule. My guest for this conversation is Raza Rumi, a Pakistani journalist and public policy analyst based in the United States. Our conversation about Bhutto, encapsulating India, East Pakistan, the army and the kinships builds to a central question: can anyone govern Pakistan? 

Raza Rumi comes on the podcast to set the record clear on everything happening in Pakistan. Raza explains the Imran Khan phenomenon, the history of his 22 year struggle, how army interferes in politics and the philosophy of how cults operate. Is politics in Pakistan just elite theatrics? How do we bring real change in Pakistan? Why should we celebrate the undoing of the Hybrid regime? Find out this and more on this week's episode of The Pakistan Experience.

In this episode, I read "Hume Chahiya Tha Milna" by Parveen Shakir and it's English translation, "We Ought To Have Met" by Raza Rumi.  Unrequited love is often painful, but it is especially painful in Urdu, less so in Hindi and almost painless in English. I say that only half in jest. If you look at the documented and undocumented tradition of writing about love, romance, desire and the allied, you will find such a rich legacy in the Urdu language that you won't disagree with me. This piece for instance is timeless. All lovers everywhere who had their paths cross but not converge, will read this poem and find their heart skip a beat. Why don't you listen in and smile along?      I read from the Poets.org website here -  http://daak.co.in/met-unrequited-untimely-love-parveen-shakirs-verse/    The host, Ravneet Bawa as -   @one_third_above on Instagram   @maikeya on Twitter   Email: ravneet_bawa@icloud.com          Disclaimer: This podcast is created for sharing with friends and family, and only as a passion project amidst the Covid lockdown with no commercial interest.

You can now listen to “In My Own Words” on iTunes, SoundCloud, Spotify and Google Podcasts! All month we'll be bringing you a little something different here at “In My Own Words” — a three-part series analyzing the media. We'll be taking a look at the role media plays in various parts of our lives and tackling charged conversation topics that other's just can't seem to solve on Twitter. The Boston Globe front page editorial was a call to action in 2016. On the front page laid the barrel of an assault rifle and in big block letters beside it was the plea: “MAKE IT STOP.” The Globe had taken a firm position in the gun rights debate, and the wall between option *(is this supposed to be opinion?)* and straight news was being violated. In the years that have followed, that wall has been given a door — social media is hindering the journalist's role as gatekeeper, mainstream media is erasing the voices of the moderate and trust in the media is deteriorating at a rapid pace. In this episode, we're exploring the role of media in politics and the ways the media impacts social and political spheres with Raza Rumi, a journalist, Pakistani policy analyst and the director the the Park Center for Independent Media.

A conversation with Raza Rumi on a course on 'Public Policy and Aid' that he is teaching at Cornell Institutie of Public Adminsitraiton.   Raza is well known Pakistani scholar that we have met in an earlier podcast.  Those interested in Public Policy will find very useful ideas for thought and research here. 

This episode I’m joined by Pakistani Journalist Saqib Tanveer (@saqibtanveer), who recently wrote a controversial piece, about the lynching of a Pakistani student over allegations of blasphemy. His piece was removed by the publication that published it initially (The News). (Pls note this episode was recorded a couple of weeks ago, so the arrests made in Mashal Khan’s murder were not discussed. And pls excuse the buzzing sound on Saqib’s end…If I remember Pakistan, that’s gotta be a rusty fan or something.) Here’s a screenshot of the text we refer to throughout https://twitter.com/SaqibTanveer/status/855686726559309824 - I recommend you read this first. Its just a short paragraph. Soon after the Mashal Khan lynching (a horrific incident where a humanist student was accused of blasphemy and murdered by a furious religious mob) many Pakistani journalists, public figures & politicians were intent on 'clearing' Mashal’s name. Proving him to be a pious person who respected the religion. I wrote a blog post http://nicemangos.blogspot.ca/2017/04/the-beast-of-blasphemy-takes-another.html?zx=a05fba0110d35249 , lamenting the fact that this was even necessary or relevant…but I understood the desire to calm the toxic Islamic extremist sentiment that was still thick in the air after Mashal’s unjust murder. As a non-believer myself, obviously I think blasphemy should not at all be a crime, this is a law that doesn’t belong in this century. I have often stated that the government of Pakistan contributes to this dangerous climate where vigilante murders for ‘blasphemy’ occur on the regular by legitimizing it as a crime in the first place. Even politicians who have dared to question the existence of this blasphemy law have been murdered. Right wing preachers have been accused…it’s an Orwellian tool to police people’s thoughts. In the previous episode I interviewed prominent, liberal-secular Pakistani journalist Raza Rumi who survived an Islamist attack. We had a lovely, civil discussion…where he gave me such hope for the future of Pakistan. However, today’s conversation is in stark contrast to the intellectually stimulating discussion I had last episode. Today’s Pakistani journalist is pro blasphemy law, pro blasphemy punishment, as he considers it to be ’the law of the land…which must be upheld'…. This is a frustrating, yet entertaining roller coaster of a conversation that takes many twists and turns in attempts to deny the obvious flaws with punishing people for ‘blasphemy’. —— Here are some links for further reading, on topics discussed in the episode: About the influence of Wahhabism in Pakistan: http://www.newstatesman.com/world-affairs/2014/11/wahhabism-isis-how-saudi-arabia-exported-main-source-global-terrorism http://www.huffingtonpost.com/haroon-khalid/the-influence-of-wahhabism-in-pakistan_b_11329322.html https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/15/islam-pakistan-barelvi-saudi-wahhabi Mashal Khan story: http://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-39603126/pakistan-blasphemy-the-student-lynched-for-being-a-humanist Governor Salman Taseer shot by his guard Mumtaz Qadri for questioning blasphemy law : http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35684452 Mumtaz Qadri murder celebrated and funeral attended by over 100, 000 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/01/funeral-pakistani-mumtaz-qadri-executed-salmaan-taseer Pakistan literacy rate http://ilm.com.pk/pakistan/pakistan-information/pakistan-literacy-rate/ ---- If you enjoy this show, pls help it grow by supporting via Patreon https://www.patreon.com/nicemangos

This episode, I’ve got prominent Pakistani journalist and TV anchor Raza Rumi (@RazaRumi). He was attacked by gunmen in 2014 for being an outspoken critic of the Taliban and just islamism in general. https://www.dawn.com/news/1096198 Luckily he survived, and continues to speak out about the threat journalists face today. An incredibly brave man pushing for change in a society very resistant to it. He’s had to leave Pakistan for the time being, and currently lives in the US. I find it painful to think that terrorists get to dictate people’s lives like this, uproot them, scare them, separate them from their families and friends…but I am thankful that people like Raza continue to speak up. Even with bloody and brutal attacks, they didn’t succeed in silencing him. However increasing far right sentiment in the US definitely puts him off. We chat about all this and more. As a Liberal practising muslim, of course Raza has some pretty fundamental disagreements with me about religion in general. and that’s ok! In fact I think critics of Islam now really need to build bridges with liberal and secular Muslims to have their criticisms resonate at all, especially in a time where the risk of polarization is so great and in a climate where the far right is quickly alienating all people of Muslim background. There’s also a misconception...I think, that vocal atheists like myself, won’t acknowledge other contributing factors to religious fundamentalism. So he really tried to drive that home…but I do acknowledge all the geopolitical & social factors that have an impact on increasing the toxicity of religion. I don’t think many sensible non-religious people would deny that yes foreign policy, history, poverty, lack of education all play a role. However the reverse issue is one that is often denied by adherents of religion…that religion itself is a factor. We tussle politely a bit about whether scripture is ‘twisted’ or simply provides the raw material for such interpretations. Anyway, hopefully at some stage we can get together again and schedule a proper discussion based on scripture. This chat was focused on the blasphemy law in Pakistan, the climate contributing to it.. and the recent Mashal Khan lynching in Pakistan, over blasphemy accusations. Mashal was a young student who described himself as a humanist. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/26/lynching-of-a-student-sparks-uproar-in-pakistan-against-blasphemy-laws Other stories we discussed: Preacher being accused of blasphemy: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/04/pakistani-preacher-junaid-jamshed-blasphemy-accusations Governor killed for questioning blasphemy law: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/05/world/asia/05pakistan.html Governer’s Murderer celebrated, thousands attend his funeral: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/01/funeral-pakistani-mumtaz-qadri-executed-salmaan-taseer Please note: this episode was recorded a few weeks ago, so recent news regarding Mashal Khan’s killer, etc was not discussed.

We live in an ever-shifting world, where industries are rushing to meet modern expectations and the demands placed upon the global workforce are changing daily. In this week's podcast, former Indiana governor and current president of Purdue University Mitch Daniels speaks about the changing role of education and how schools like Purdue, formally an agriculturally-focused institution, are adapting to meet contemporary innovation. Later, International Security Program Director Peter Bergen engages with Raza Rumi, an analyst for Express News and the consulting editor of the Friday Times, in addition to Kati Marton (a New America board member) and Joel Simon of the Committee to Protect Journalists. The group discusses the recent assassination attempt on Rumi, as well as the growing dangers facing journalists working in Pakistan and the fine line they tread.

Writer, blogger, political analyst and adherent of Sufi thought, Raza Rumi reveals to us a Pakistan that the mainstream media has failed to provide.  Raza spoke to us from his home in Lahore.
